12 Stunning Artificial Islands around the World

9. Floating Island Where: Mexico The small island built in the eastern coast of Mexico on top of heaps of plastic bottles and boxes is designed by British Artist Richard Sowa. Richard says, "Floating islands can be all over the globe, on rivers, lakes and in protected oceans. They can provide sustainable habitats for plants, animals and humans, and can even be made on dry ground in potential flood areas such as Bangladesh." 10. Peberholm Island Where: Denmark to Sweden This is one of the few pieces of land that connects two countries through the sea. The island is actually a bridge tunnel just like the one in Umihotaru. Peberholm is also home to numerous birds and plant species which were not brought in but grew all by themselves.
